OverlIauling the Popular Conception.

1t was Il little hard on DR.. Holmes that
alc of the papers in his own Boston should
turn upoa him for rescrving his Harvard
poem to publish in The Atlantic and say
of him that there is q Yankee thrift
about t.,is turning of poems for public
occasions into money which is hardly in
accordance with the popular conception of
the poetical temperament The state
ment may be true; we are afraid it is.
But the popular conception needs
ovcrhauling. There is no good reason
why the poet should bestow the offspring
of his muse upon the public for nothing
any more than there is for the painter
doing the same with the fruit of his in
spiration and toll There has been-and
probably still is-a good deal of wrong
headedness on the part of the public in
this matter. 1t is only recently, if at all,
that the masses have become fully recon
ciled to the notion of minister's taking
any thought about his salary; and his
changing pulpits in order to secure better
compensation is still regarded pretty gen.
orally as good subject for jocose allu-
sions to ''can with money in it' or to
the spreading of the gospel without
money and without price" Yet the in
telligent admit when they give the sub
ject any serious consideration that the
minister is as worthy of his hire as any
other laborer And why not the poet as

Moderate in eating the Persian only
drinks to get drunk. The Koran forbids
him to indulge in spirituous or any other
intoxicating liquor, but the well to do
classes uniformly break the law Having
once violated their consciences they in
variably go to the extreme in the other
direction. In his anderoun (harem) the
Persian, with his boon companions and
dependents around him, will drink the
fiery raw spirit of the country called arrak
or the heady native wine till he drops like
a log on his rug. OF other stimulants he
uses opium (theriak) and hasheesh
tcheng). Opium is made into little pills,
generally mixed with after of roses or
some other flayOring substance, and is
partaken of in moderation, mostly only
while travelling, to better bear fatigue.
HaSheesh Is in common use more especi-
ally with the dervishes and priests, who
work themselves into frenZied condition
by means OF it. Tea is the national bever-
age and is drank necessarily. Strange TO
say, it is of poor quality, very weak, and
Is swretened so As to taste more like poor
mOlasses than anything else Coffee is
drank very little, and only on state occa-
siOns
Tobacco IS likewise INDUCED in to an
incredible extent. 1t is mostly smoked
in Persian water pipes (Ghalyan). If the
tobbaco is of the Shraz brand it is very
good, but strong, and the Persian will
smoke so many pipes of it a day (often
forty to fifty as TO be in what he calls "a
state of happiness (kefD quite early in
the afternoon. This means species OF
narccss brought on by the peculiar man
ner Of smoking, i. e., inhaling the smoke,
allowing it to penetrate the lungs and
then letting it escape by nose and ears.
As tobacco is excessively cheap and time
no object to the average Persian, his
variety Of dissipation is the most prevalent
one and one not forbidden by the Koran
either. While the keff lasts the pupils
of the eye are dilated and a sort of drowsy
Indifference to all things mundane seems
to pervadc the smoker.-Cor. New York
